Camino has a modular design to enable construction of processing pipelines that include modules from other software packages. The toolkit is primarily designed for unix platforms and structured to enable simple scripting of processing pipelines for batch processing. Most users use linux, MacOS or a unix emulator like cygwin running under windows. However, the core code is written in Java and thus is simple to call from other platforms and programming environments, such as matlab running under unix or windows.

The microstructure imaging group at UCL lead development and maintenance of the toolkit. The PICSL group at the University of Pennsylvania also contribute heavily, as have Geoff Parker and colleagues at the University of Manchester. Many of the specialist modules arise from the research of the MIG and collaborating groups. However, the toolkit also includes implementations of many other techniques in the literature that we have found useful.

We hope you find Camino useful. We welcome any feedback, contributions or suggestions for additions to the toolkit.
